Review: Long Beach Opera’s production of Shostakovich’s Moscow, Cherry Town. Opera News, August 2011.
Incidentally, Mr. Eduard Khil — aka Mr. Trololo — has a small part (“vocalist”) in the movie version of Shostakovich’s operetta, now available on DVD under the title of Cherry Town or Cheryomushki.

I’m really hoping the LB Opera crew does the Turnage “Anna Nicole” opera sometime soon . . . oh, the crazy fun that would be.
If anyone could pull it off, they could. And I could cover it wearing two hats.
